I. Process When you describe a process you go step by step explaining what you do or how the process takes place. For this kind of writing you will need time markers as: first, second, third, then, later, after, before, etc. You also might use verbs in infinitive form to explain what process you are going through or you are seeing.
Follow these steps:
1. Read the instructions, cut them and paste them to your wiki. Underline the words that are time markers.
Think of a 2-digit integer. Subtract from the number the sum of its digits and find the result in the table below. Note that each cell of the table contains a number and a geometric shape. Concentrate hard on the shape that shares a cell with the result of your calculations. When ready, press the "Check it!" button ... "When" is the time marker
2. Play and try to explain why the magic trick worked.
The magic trick works because when we take any two digit number and subtract the sum of its digits, always it will give a multiple of 9 and all multiples of 9 have the same form in the figure of the table. Good
3. Check the explanation below the trick. Was it the one you were thinking of? Explain.
Yes, the explanation is a bit similar because it says that by subtracting the sum of 2 digits gives a multiple of 9 and that the multiple of 9 in the figure of the table always has the same form. Great

Answer:
This is because when you have a whole number and this is the absolute value remains the same, the result will always be a multiple of 9. The figures of the multiples of 9 will always be the same. Super
Great Job
